Tanzania Yalenga Kusaini Mradi wa Gesi (LNG) wa Dola Bilioni 42 Kabla ya Juni
Baada ya miaka kadhaa ya kukwama, Serikali ya Tanzania inatarajia kusaini mkataba wa mradi mkubwa wa kusindika gesi asilia (LNG) wenye thamani ya Dola za Kimarekani bilioni 42 (takriban Shilingi za Kitanzania trilioni 110) ifikapo mwezi Juni mwaka huu.

Mradi huu unaongozwa na makampuni makubwa ya nishati, Equinor na Shell.

Uzalishaji wa gesi unatarajiwa kuanza rasmi baada ya miaka minane (8) kuanzia sasa.

Mradi huu utafungua fursa ya uvunaji wa futi za ujazo trilioni 47.13 za gesi asilia, na unatarajiwa kuwa uwekezaji mkubwa zaidi kuwahi kutokea nchini Tanzania.

Pamoja na Shell na Equinor, washirika wengine ni pamoja na Exxon Mobil na Shirika la Maendeleo ya Petroli Tanzania (TPDC).

Mradi huo ulikuwa umesimama kutokana na marekebisho ya serikali kwenye makubaliano ya kifedha ya mwaka 2023, lakini sasa upo katika hatua za mwisho za kisheria.

Serikali inakadiria kuwa mradi huu utazalisha zaidi ya ajira 100,000.

Uwekezaji huu utaifanya Afrika Mashariki (Tanzania ikishirikiana na Msumbiji) kuwa kitovu muhimu cha usafirishaji wa gesi duniani.

Kutokana na wahisani kuzuia msaada wa bajeti wa kati ya Dola bilioni 2 mpaka 3 kufuatia malalamiko ya uchaguzi, serikali pia inachukua hatua za kuuza akiba ya dhahabu ili kufadhili miradi ya miundombinu.

Ukraine is interested in importing liquefied natural gas from Mozambique, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday, as ‌it struggles to meet its energy needs following years of Russian attacks on its production infrastructure.

Before the war, Ukraine met almost all of its gas needs through domestic production. But Russian strikes have meant that Ukraine has lost about half its gas output, Central Bank Governor Andriy Pyshnyi said late last year.

Last autumn, Russia intensified its attacks on Ukrainian gas production ⁠facilities, most of which are located in frontline regions in northeast and central Ukraine.

Speaking on the Telegram messaging app after meeting with Mozambique President Daniel Chapo, Zelenskiy suggested that Kyiv could offer the southern African nation – which is battling an Islamist insurgency – support in countering its security challenges.

“Ukraine is interested in additional energy supplies. Mozambique is interested in Ukraine’s experience and technologies to strengthen its internal security and protect people from terror,” Zelenskiy said, without providing any details of what volumes of gas might be involved in any deal.

Mozambique is a major African gas ‌producer, ⁠and in January the country and TotalEnergies announced that they would relaunch a LNG project, previously halted by the insurgency.

With capacity to produce 13 million metric tons of LNG annually, the project is expected to make Mozambique a major gas exporter.

Ukraine has not imported Russian gas since 2015.

In recent years, Kyiv has also been ⁠expanding its LNG, establishing supplies of U.S. LNG from terminals in Poland and the Baltic countries.

Ukraine also imports U.S. LNG via so-called Vertical Corridor of pipelines from Greece.

European AGSI official energy data showed last week that Ukraine had begun ⁠storing gas in its underground facilities in preparation for the next heating season.

Energy minister Denys Shmyhal has said that Ukraine intends to start the 2026–2027 heating season with at least 13 ⁠billion cubic metres of gas in underground storage – roughly the same volume as in the previous season.

Since the start of the war with Russia, Ukraine has not disclosed full details of its gas imports
